Re: [Mkdump-devel] a question about the device

[Itsuro O. <od...@va...>]

Hi,

For example you use /dev/hda7 as a dump device, type "ls -l /dec/hda7"
# ls -l /dev/hda7
brw-rw----  1 root disk 3, 7 Jul  1  2004 /dev/hda7
#
The device number is "0x300007".

Of course you should prepare a dump device (a disk partition) in 
advance.

Thanks.
